Lwandle : criminalisation of a community

Sloth-Nielsen, Julia 26 September 2023 (has links) (PDF)
This work tells the history of the current crisis facing the community of Lwandle, "the hostel by the sea" near Strand and Somerset West in the Western Cape. Despite all the media propaganda about consultation with "recognised and moderate leaders", despite government promises that legislation curtailing the free movement of blacks would be abolished, despite the State President's undertaking that apartheid would go, yet the people who live in this settlement have little hope of being able to remain there with their families for much longer. I will attempt to illustrate the socio-economic conditions which prevail in their community, to detail the background to the current stage in their struggle to promote family life at Lwandle and to place this in a broader perspective to state policy and apartheid reform in late 198 7. Accordingly, Chapter 1 will look at the history of Lwandle hostel, the geographic environment, the demographic composition of the community and the social composition and community organisation that pertains there at present. Much of the information in this section was gleaned from my involvement with the community of Lwandle as the chairwoman of the local branch of the Black Sash and from my recurring meetings with sections of the community in order to try and resolve the question of their impending removal to another area (or, more recently, the removal of part of the community). Some information, too, emanates from an investigation by the Urban Foundation, conducted in 198 7, into the feasibility of providing suitable family housing at Lwandle. During the preparation of this report, I did, however, liase a great deal with the 'research team who compiled it, and (hopefully) succeeded in imparting some of the information now embodied in the report. In Chapter 2 a summary of legal developments relating to the abolition of influx control will be provided, and other enactments controlling the movement of peoples throughout South Africa examined. In this regard current government policy and stated objectives pertaining to both influx control and housing (with particular attention to single sex hostel accommodation) must be included in order to provide a basis for analysis in the final Chapter, Chapter 4. Chapter 3 will focus on the arrest in May 1986 of 1.58 women at Lwandle hostel on charges amounting to trespass. The involvement of the local branch of the Black Sash in the future of the Lwandle community was a reaction to the immediate need of those women who were arrested. Some specific case studies were completed, and these will be discussed in this Chapter. Further police action in Lwandle after May 1986 will, insofar as such details are known to me, also be mentioned. Finally, in Chapter 4 the problematic position in which the residents of Lwandle now find themselves will be outlined, and certain conclusions about the general political scenario that obtains at present in South Africa (with reference to criminological issues) will be drawn.

A geochemical study of metasomatised peridotite and marid nodules from the Kimberley pipes, South Africa

Waters, Frances Gillian 22 September 2023 (has links) (PDF)
A comprehensive study has been made of a large collection of metasomatised peridotite, and MARIO (Mica-Amphibole-ButileIlmenite-Qiopside) xenoliths from the Kimberley pipes, with the aim of obtaining an improved understanding of enrichment processes operating in the sub-continental lithospheric mantle. The metasomatised peridotite suite is divided into garnet peridotites (GP), which contain no texturally equilibrated or primary phlogopite, garnet phlogopite peridotites (GPP), which constitute the most abundant peridotites, phlogopite peridotites (PP) and phlogopite K-richterite peridotites (PKP). Diopside can be present in all four groups. PKP rocks may also contain exotic incompatible element-rich Crtitanates such as lindsleyite and mathiasite, Nb-Cr rutile, ilmenite and armalcolite. Petrographic and chemical evidence presented here suggest that metasomatism increases progressively in the sequence GPGPP-PP-PKP, with the PKP group being richest in Fe, Ti and incompatible elements such as K, Na, Rb, Ba, Sr, Zr, Nb and the LR.EE. Mineral compositions change progressively from the garnet-bearing rocks to the PP and PKP rocks, showing decreases in Al 2o 3 and cr2o 3 contents, and increases in FeO and Tio2 contents. Data from this study show that most PKP and some PP rocks were derived from Al-deficient harzburgites. Other PP rocks probably had garnet-bearing precursors, as they display chemical similarities to GPP rocks, and typically contain aggregates of phlogopitediopside-spinel which are interpreted and modelled as being garnet replacement textures. Pressures and temperatures of equilibration of the peridotites in this study, combined with published experimental mineral stability data, suggest that metasomatism increases in intensity upwards in the subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) over a considerable depth interval from _170 km to Sr isotope data suggest that the metasomatism is young (1 Ga) have been recorded by Nd isotopes. New and published peridotite mineral and whole-rock Nd and Sr isotopic compositions range from moderately depleted to highly enriched and are interpreted in terms of mixing between variably enriched "ancient" SCLM and young metasomatic fluids with isotopic compositions close to Bulk Earth values. A rnineralogic expression of the ancient enrichments which might suggest that they resulted from older metasornatic events, cannot be clearly identified, but is best represented by enriched Nd-isotopic compositions of nonmetasornatic garnet. Rare phlogopites with low 1 43 Nd/144Nd ratios are interpreted as the product of complex mixing between the young metasomatic fluids and old enriched SCLM, rather than as older phlogopite. A group of unusually diopside-rich peridotites (±Phlogopite, ±ilmenite), are described and discussed. They are probably not directly related to the main group of metasomatised peridotites. Their chemical differences and greater pressures and temperatures of equilibration are consistent with formation by interaction between a diapir of asthenospheric melt and surrounding peridotitic mantle at the base of the SCLM. Comparison with chemical and isotopic data from the literature for Cr-rich "granny-smith" diopside rnegacrysts and glimmerites (phlogopite-diopside-ilmenite aggregates), suggests that they may have close genetic links with the diopside-rich suite. MARIO nodules are modally dominated by phlogopite, Krichterite and diopside, with lesser ilmenite and rutile, and accessory minerals such as calcite, barite and apatite. Olivine is absent, as is (with one exception) orthopyroxene, which serves to distinguish MARIO rocks from highly metasornatised peridotites. Relative modal proportions, textures and grain-size of MARIO rocks vary considerably, both within and between nodules. Textures suggest that they are igneous cumulates. The maximum stability depth of Krichterite restricts their depths of crystallisation to <120km. Data obtained in this study show that MARIO mineral compositions are Fe and Ti rich compared to most peridotites, and are much poorer in Cr, Al, Mg and Ni. Bulk compositions are alkali- and magnesian-rich (K20=4-9 weight%, Mg0=20-25 weight%), with moderate to high concentrations of i ncompatible trace elements. New and published MARIO mineral Nd and Sr isotopic measurements ranges from slightly depleted to highly enriched compositions. They are interpreted in terms of mixing of recent (phlogopite metasomatism is presented. The model proposes that there was recent input of metasomatic fluids at two distinct levels in the sub-continental mantle lithosphere. (1) Deep level fluids were generated at the base of the subcontinental lithosphere between 170-200 km depth - l l I ) possibly evolved from failed asthenospheric melts. The intensity of metasomatism progressively increased as these fluids percolated upwards to _100 km depth, and the GPP and some of the PP rocks were formed. (2) Shallow level metasomatic fluids were evolved during the crystallisation of MA.RID magmas ponded at 60-100 km depth. They were released into the surrounding SCLM, and formed the PKP and some PP rocks. These MA.RID-derived fluids appear to have overprinted the deep-derived metasomatism in places; some PP rocks have metasomatic signatures with characteristics of both events, which is interpreted as evidence for the passage of both types of fluid through them. Various lines of evidence including variations in mineral and whole-rock chemistry, suggest that both types of fluids contained Si, Al, Fetotal, Fe 3+, Ti, ±Ca, incompatible elements such as K, Na, Rb, Ba, Sr, Zr, Nb, V, LREE, s, and possibly F and Cl. The MARIO-derived fluids may have been generally richer in these elements, as the PKP rocks are more intensely metasomatised than even the most metasomatised GPP. u and related PP rocks. The behaviqr of Ba appears to have been different in the two sources/fluids - the deeper-derived fluids produced Ba-rich phlogopites, whereas the MARID magmas and MARID-derived fluids resulted in the formation of Ba-poor phlogopites in MA.RID and PKP rocks. Modelling of fluid compositions using published crystal/melt and crystal/fluid partition coefficients and PKP mineral trace element abundances is inconclusive but suggests that the MARIDderived fluids (and possibly the deep-derived fluids as well), were strongly LREE-enriched with REE patterns comparable to lamproites or kimberlites, and with moderately high Rb and Ba contents. However, inferred concentrations of Sr in the metasomatic fluids are of the order of 1% or more. The PKP rocks have attracted more attention in the literature than the GPP and PP groups, due to their spectacular J metasomatic assemblages. However, it is worth noting that they are relatively rare (~10% of peridotites from the Kimberley pipes). The ¥.LA.RID-derived metasomatism was probably intense, but strongly localised. In contrast the GPP and PP rocks are extremely abundant at Kimberley (_50% and _30% respectively) and were equilibrated over a large depth interval (170-100 km). The deep-derived metasomatism therefore appears to have been much more pervasive, and although less intense (most GPP rocks have 1-2% phlogopite) , it is considered to be a more significant phenomenon in the context of mantle metasomatic processes, especially as it appears to predate host kimberlite formation and emplacement.

Mattering, wellness, and fairness: psychosocial goods for the common good

Prilleltensky, I., Scarpa, M.P., Ness, O., Di Martino, Salvatore 18 January 2023 (has links)
Yes / Whereas the behavioral and health sciences have been mainly concerned with the private good, there is an urgent need to understand and foster the collective good. Without a coherent framework for the common good, it will be extremely difficult to prevent and manage crises such as pandemics, illness, climate change, poverty, discrimination, injustice, and inequality, all of which affect marginalized populations disproportionally. While frameworks for personal well-being abound in psychology, psychiatry, counseling and social work, conceptualizations of collective well-being are scarce. Our search for foundations of the common good resulted in the identification of three psychosocial goods: mattering, wellness, and fairness. There are several reasons for choosing them, including the fact that they concurrently advance personal, relational, and collective value. In addition, they represent basic human motivations, have considerable explanatory power, exist at multiple ecological levels, and have significant transformative potential. The complementary nature of the three goods is illustrated in an interactional model. Based on empirical evidence, we suggest that conditions of justice lead to experiences of mattering, which, in turn, enhance wellness. Challenges and opportunities afforded by the model at the intrapersonal, interpersonal, occupational, communal, national, and global levels are presented. The proposed psychosocial goods are used to formulate a culture for the common good in which we balance the right with the responsibility to feel valued and add value, to self and others, in order to promote not just wellness but also fairness.

Crux Fidelis

Klinger, Michael 12 1900 (has links)
Crux Fidelis is a musical and theatrical setting of the Roman Catholic Good Friday service. The work consists of three movements during which seven themes are developed in cyclic fashion thus making the overall form of the piece one of thematic variations. Variable tempos and moods are used throughout the work and are determined by the text. Linear construction, used primarily throughout the work, results in occasional vertical sonorities. A further synopsis of the elements of the work is included in the discussion and analysis.

Cape Colonial parliamentary publications, 1854-1910 : with special reference to documents in the Dutch language

Coates, Peter Ralph 02 1900 (has links)
This is a study of official documents published by and for the Cape colonial Parliament from the mid nineteenth century, when the parliamentary system of government began in South Africa, to the early years of the twentieth century, when the Cape colony was incorporated into the Union of South Africa. The constitutional framework within which government and parliamentary publishing took place is outlined, and the relevance of each type of document to the work of Parliament and the present-day researcher is explained. Emphasis has been placed on the administration of the publishing process from conceptualization through the printing stages to distribution and finally to the disposal of surplus material. The study concludes with an investigation of the current status of Cape parliamentary publications respecting preservation issues and the exploitation of the material for research purposes in libraries and archives, and some remarks on future trends. Particular attention has been given to use of the Dutch language in the predominantly English language Cape Parliament and the hitherto neglected effect this had on official publishing. Copious footnotes and seven appendixes have been supplied to make this study thoroughly comprehensive. / Information Science / M.Info. (Information Science)

Striden om skolan : Den politiska debatten om friskolor i media 1996 och 2006

Isling, Pär January 2009 (has links)
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur den politiska debatten kring friskolor fördes under åren 1996 och 2006 i Sveriges tre största dagstidningar. I studien undersöks även vilka argument de politiska agitatorerna använder sig av i ledar- och debattartiklar och vilka politiska skiljelinjer som kan åskådliggöras. Vidare vill uppsatsen undersöka hur den politiska diskursen påverkas av debattörernas avsikter och handlingsutrymme. Uppsatsen vilar på en kvalitativ grund där de artiklar som studerats valts ut utifrån en ämnesmässig relevans. Den hermeneutiska metoden har använts i studien för att kunna tolka det skriva på en objektiv grund. I uppsatsen beskrivs friskolornas historiska bakgrund och hur politiken har sett och ser på friskolorna. Uppsatsen visar att den politiska debatten kring friskolor i dagstidningarna handlar om vem som skall ha makten över utbildningen d.v.s. om huvudmannaskapet över skolan skall tillhöra staten eller familjen. I åren som uppsatsen undersöker märks hur den politiska debatten under 1996 mer kännetecknas av en övergripande ideologisk strid om skolan. Under 2006 finns denna konflikt kvar men utifrån andra förtecken där politiker kan agera på ett mer friare sätt i förhållande till sitt eget partis uppfattning i frågan.

Den svenska hemundervisningsdebatten 2000-2015 : En kvalitativ textanalys

Åström, Anne January 2016 (has links)
Den här uppsatsen redogör för en kvalitativ textanalys av svensk hemundervisningsdebatt mellan åren 2000 och 2015. Det empiriska materialet bestående av 17 insändare, debattartiklar och ledare från en variation av svensk dagsmedia har analyserats med hjälp av systematisk-logisk analys samt kritisk ideologianalys. Syftet med undersökningen är att analysera debatten. Resultatet visar att argument som förekommer i debatten kan sorteras in under fyra teman: Barnet och familjen, Hemmets plats i samhället, Skolans plats i samhället samt Samhällets grund. Resultatet visar också att argument för hemundervisning liksom argument mot hemundervisning förekommer i alla teman. De framkomna argumenten har via de fyra konstruerade temana analyserats i relation till två teoretiska begrepp, public good och private good. Diskussionen av undersökningsresultatet visar att argument inom de två förstnämnda temana tenderar att vara ”mer” private good medan argument inom de två sistnämnda temana tenderar att vara ”mer” public good.

Dobrá víra, poctivost a slušnost v obchodním styku / Principle of good faith and of good faith and fair dealing in commercial relations

Kvačková, Riana January 2015 (has links)
This dissertation focuses on the principle of good faith and on the principle of good faith and fair dealing. The differences between the two mentioned principles and the problems with terminology are covered. The author suggests and reasons for her own terminological solution. Furthermore, the dissertation discusses on the general delimitation of the two principles, their content and relation to other related principles. Moreover, it focuses on the legal frame of good faith and good faith and fair dealing principles including historical and comparative aspects of the issue. The author of the dissertation describes the practical impact of the two principles in question and compares the recent and current legal regulation. She analyses the practical impact of the principles of good faith and good faith and fair dealing in commercial relations: not only in the business contractual law but also in the life of a business corporation. Furthermore, the relevant judicature is covered including the delimitation of its possible applicability on the current legal regulation.

Analyse du comportement coopératif pour une consommation durable des ménages : une approche expérimentale / Analysis of cooperative behavior for sustainable household consumption : an experimental approach

Groff, Jocelyn 06 April 2018 (has links)
La thèse porte sur les comportements de consommation durable des ménages. Lorsque les comportements de consommation permettent de retirer une utilité individuelle, au détriment de l’intérêt général, ils peuvent être analysés comme un dilemme social. Les expériences de jeu de bien public permettent de tester des comportements en situation de dilemme social. Consommer de manière durable peut être considéré comme une contribution volontaire à un bien public. La problématique est de mieux comprendre les mécanismes de contribution volontaire à des biens collectifs qui génèrent des externalités. Trois expériences nous permettent d’analyser les différences de contributions entre un bien privé et des biens publics, mal(s) publics et biens clubs. Plus particulièrement, nous nous intéressons aux externalités négatives d’un mal public, à l’exclusivité du bien club et aux effets de la présence de biens collectifs multiples. / This thesis focuses on the sustainable consumer behaviour of households. When consumer behaviours allow for individual utility, at the expense of public interest, these can be analysed as a social dilemma. Experiments in public good games allow for testing behaviours of individuals subjected to social dilemma situations. Sustainable consumption can be considered as a voluntary contribution to a public good. The objective is to better understand the mechanisms behind voluntary contributions to public goods that generate externalities. Three experiments will allow us to analyse the differences in contributions between a private good and public goods, public bad(s) and club goods. We focus on the negative externalities of a public bad, the exclusivity of the club good and the effects of multiple public goods.
